Dreaming of Books Giveaway Hop

Hello all my lovelies (and all the new peoples that I hope are visiting today)! I hope everyone is having a fantastic Friday. I know I, myself, am looking forward to the weekend and hopefully a lot of writing and reading. And catching up on sleep. That sounds good too.

But you guys are probably here for another reason. So I guess it's time for my first contest! Yay! *does a little dance* I'm a little excited. I've only been around for 14 days now, so a contest is just what I need to perk myself up. And give away a little goodness for you all as well. This is part of the fantastic blog hop hosted by Martha's Bookshelf and I Am A Reader, Not A Writer! Thanks, ladies! Let's get started.

PLEASE READ ALL OF THE RULES SO YOU DON'T MISS ANYTHING!!!

Okay here's the deal: The blog hop will only be open for a limited time, Jan. 14-17. All you have to do is leave a comment. That's all.

What's at stake, you ask? How about ANY BOOK YOU WANT! There is a $15 limit, but it will be delivered through the Book Depository, meaning it's open internationally as long as they deliver to your country!

So for entering:

Contest only open to followers of the blog.

Anyway, most of what I read in 2010 was for school, which pretty much sucked my soul out. However, the best book I read was probably Ship Breaker by Paolo Bacigalupi. I'm a bit of a world-building whore and everything in this book was gorgeous in a hard and gritty sort of way.

@Sarah Robertson: Ship Breaker is on my TBR shelf right now, I really need to read it because I keep hearing how amazing it is.

Anyways, I'm a GFC follower as SarahEm. I read a lot of good books last year so I can't just pick one favorite. The entire Hunger Games trilogy, Wither by Lauren DeStefano, Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry, and Looking for Alaska by John Green. Oh yeah and I follow you on Twitter as @Sarah_3m

Yay! I love book-giveaways!I'm following you by GFC (Tollehed95), and the best book I've read in 2010 is probably... the Hunger Games, I know it's not new, but I haven't had time to read it :PThe best way for you to contact me is by e-mail, tollehed95[at]hotmail[dot]com
